A group of desperate people come together due to sinister forces in this unsettling and captivating book by Yoko Ogawa.
After moving into a new flat, an aspiring writer finds out that her landlord killed her husband. The writer's stepson thinks back on his stepmother and the weird tales she used to tell him years later. A surgeon's sweetheart threatens to murder him if he stays with his wife. The surgeon will meet another extraordinary lady, a cabaret singer whose heart pulses softly outside of her body, before she can carry out her crime of passion. However, the surgeon incites the enmity of another guy who want to keep the heart in a specially made bag when he promises to heal her condition. The destinies of murderers and mourners, mothers and children, lovers and gullible spectators, all collide in a sinisterly beautiful web from which they are unable to free themselves.
Yoko Ogawa's Revenge is a macabre, deviously intelligent, and somewhat paranormal work that weaves a menacing tale of death and the afterlife for the living.
